The Butcher Boogie story started way back in 2002 when 4 friends, Greg, Benjamin, Benny and Alex decided to start up a new band.
Greg, Benja and Benny had just stopped with the legendary Brussels band Bad Gutter Rats and were ready for something new. They came up with the catchy sounding name Butcher Boogie and a new super band was born!
They were joined by a second guitarist, Mike, and after a period of heavy rehearsing and songwriting they did they're first gig in Charlerloi in the summer of 2003 and were immediatly very well received by the audience, especially the local drunks and punks.
Since that day there have been many notorious moments. The band has won a 'battle of the bands' contest in Woluwe, has had a real battle in Bastognme with their best friends the cops, has had two record sessions in studio and has put out a vinyl split-single together with Eddy Tornado et les Scandaleux. They also appeared on the compilation CD "Masscres Belges" along with bands like Driving Dead Girl, Sport Doen, Uler's and Bad Preachers.
Since then there have also been some changes in the line-up! Alex left because of a busy private life and was replaced by a refugee from Limburg, Timmie. Mike also left because of health problems and was replaced by Didier, who later also left...he was replaced by Jan, and old Bad Gutter Rat too.
Jan is replaced now by original member Alex who moved from drums to guitar. And the adventure goes on...
